Liam Gallagher made his opinion clear after watching the FIFA World Cup final halftime show. Reacting on social media, the Oasis singer described the performance as a bad trip and joked that only his spiritual socks helped him survive it.
His comment was brief, sarcastic and openly dismissive. Gallagher did not offer a detailed review of the individual performers, but his wording left little doubt that he was unimpressed by the overall spectacle.
The halftime production took place during the Spain-Argentina final and introduced a large entertainment segment similar to those seen at major American sporting events. Madonna opened the show with Music, while BTS, Justin Bieber, Shakira, Burna Boy, Chris Martin, Gustavo Dudamel, the PS22 Chorus and the Muppets also appeared.
The performance ended with fireworks and a large stage formation spelling LOVE.
Gallagher’s reaction attracted attention because of his strong connection to football culture. Oasis songs such as Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back in Anger remain popular with supporters, giving his criticism added interest among music and football fans.
